[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent Cartwright has sworn never to go back to Dry Gulch, the memory of a particularly brutal duel scarring her deeply. Perhaps the promise of a large sum of money, enough to finally secure her family's future, could tempt her to return.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent witnessed Lucinda Mayfield abandon a group of workers during a mine collapse, choosing to save herself rather than helping those trapped. This act of cowardice filled Millicent with disgust and a deep distrust of Mayfield, believing her words and charisma to be a facade hiding a selfish heart.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent's unwavering determination, fueled by her desire to provide for her family, is her greatest strength, even if she sees it simply as stubbornness. However, she mistakes her cynicism and negativity for strength, believing it protects her from disappointment, when in reality it isolates her and prevents her from forming meaningful connections.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Desperate for work to support her family, Millicent took a job as a railcar repairer for Prairie Firebird Railway, despite rumors of Josephine Blackwood's ruthlessness. The promise of steady wages and the chance to learn a valuable trade outweighed her apprehensions.

The lack of empathy displayed solidified Millicent's conviction that Blackwood views her employees as expendable.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent views the labor movement with a mix of skepticism and begrudging respect.
